Overlord is Absolutely Well Made But I Was Hoping for More Monsters (Review)

I had such high hopes for Overlord.  They had me the minute I watched the trailer.  Not because of the WWII stuff (can’t do war movies, me) but because of the monsters and the Body Horror.  A secret Nazi Lair where they’re turning people into monsters? Count me in. With a monster movie like that, they’d have to screw this one up pretty badly in order to put me off it.  And I saw the name J.J. Abrams’s who didn’t direct it, but produced it. Hopefully that’s as good. Read more

10 Cloverfield Lane: John Goodman is Terrifying as a Conspiracy Nut Living The Realization of His Nightmares [Review]

I’m not really a fan of suspense.  I think if the only thing that carries you through a movie is not knowing what will happen, then is it really a good movie?  I mean having seen what happens, knowing how it turns out, will I want to watch this again?  Still there’s something about that first viewing when you really don’t know.  Director Dan Trachtenberg did a hell of a job; I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.   Of course, with Bad Robot, suspense comes with the territory.  10 Cloverfield Lane feels like it was directed by JJ Abrams.
